Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 8Volume 1 .3 - Chikages First Date...?
Chikage’s First Date…? 3
“That’s why I was disappointed after seeing the results of the recent midterm exams…”
“Ah… so, that’s why you were pouting… angry at that time?”
Chikage nodded, ‘Yes’. Looking remorseful.
“I thought Sakuto-kun was hiding his true abilities. You said I was an inspiration at cram school… Maybe it’s selfish, but I’ve been working hard to catch up to you.”
“Me…?”
“Yes… I’m not a genius, so all I can do is work hard. So, seeing those results, I felt betrayed… I’ve been working hard to catch up to you, so why didn’t you give your best?”
Chikage had been competing on her own──or rather, she had been working hard to be an inspiration to Sakuto, leading her to become the top student in her grade.

But she was upset because it seemed like he was hiding his true capabilities.
“I’m sorry for being rude that time… But I understand now. Sakuto-kun didn’t want to stand out, didn’t want to be the nail that sticks out, right?”
“Yeah…”
Chikage’s expression became even more serious.
“Is that because… something happened before we met…?”
“…Well, there are various things.”
He said while smiling to cover it up, but Chikage seemed to sense something and hung her head, ‘I see…’
“By the way, what’s my habit when I lie?”
“That… is a secret.”
“Huh? Why not?”
“Because… I need to know immediately if you ever cheat, right? If you fix your habit, I won’t be able to tell if you’re lying.”
Chikage said this with a joking smile, probably trying to lighten the mood that had become heavy.
“Ah, I won’t cheat on you, no way… Besides, having both Chikage and Hikari as girlfriends is already beyond my capacity.”
Sakuto also responded with a joke-like smile.

After a light lunch, they enjoyed various attractions like the merry-go-round, haunted house, and teacups.
The waiting times were longer than the rides themselves, but the trivial conversations made the waiting time bearable for them.
Eventually, it turned to evening, and dusk colored the park.
The streetlights were already on, and the park started to show its nighttime atmosphere.
The parade time was approaching.
“At the end, I want to ride that.”
Chikage pointed to the illuminated Ferris wheel.
Then, they waited in line for thirty minutes and finally got their turn to enter the gondola.
“It’s my first time on a Ferris wheel.”
“The view is amazing. I’m looking forward for the top position view.”
The gondola slowly moved.
Around what would be nine o’clock on a clockface, the sea began to come into view from Sakuto’s position.
“The sunset is shining on it and it’s beautiful. Really, it’s very scenic, isn’t it?”
“It’s great. Can I sit next to you?”
“Ah, sure.”
Chikage sat next to Sakuto.
And so, the two of them quietly watched the sea dyed by the setting sun for a while.
“It’s beautiful…”
“Yeah. It feels like the end of a day when we’re like this.”
“That’s true… Sakuto-kun, did you enjoy our date today?”
“Yeah, of course.”
For Sakuto, it was a precious day.
He realized that Chikage had a calming, reassuring presence, different from the school environment.
“Being with Chikage makes me feel calm and at ease.”
When he honestly conveyed this, Chikage chuckled softly.
“I’m happy to hear that, but I was hoping for something more thrilling heart-racing.”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it that way…”
“It’s okay…Ah, please wait a moment——”
Then, Chikage put her hand to her right ear and suddenly turned bright red, exclaiming ‘What!?’
“Refuse! I refuse!!!”
(What’s going on…? Refuse…?)
Sakuto waited in amazement while watching Chikage panic next to him.
He felt like he was being left out of the conversation.
After a while, Chikage closed her eyes while holding her cheeks.
“R-roger… Sigh~”
“What’s wrong?”
“…Eh? Ah, it’s nothing!”
It seemed like something was definitely up.
Chikage was restlessly looking around, making even him anxious.
“Uh, um… Sakuto-kun, aren’t you forgetting something?”
“Forgetting? Yes? Like what…?”
“So, you know… something you did for Hii-chan but haven’t done for me yet…”
“A-ah, I see… But, is it really okay?”
“Yes, please do…!”
Suddenly, Chikage closed her eyes, appearing nervous.
Sakuto gently reached out his hand——
“Hyaaah…!? My earrrr~…!?”
As he touched her left earlobe, Chikage jerked away, escaping from Sakuto’s hand.
“Wh-what are you doing…!?”
“No, I mean… like a charm? Something to prevent me from mistaking you for someone else…”
“A charm…? I see… So that’s what yesterday’s thing was about…”
Chikage seemed to have remembered something and nodded in understanding.
Maybe she had heard something from Hikari too the day before.
Sakuto, on the other hand, seemed to have understood as well.
The charm that Hikari mentioned──even if they are sisters, even if they are twins, the softness of the earlobes is different.
When he first met Hikari, being made to touch her earlobe might have been a hint to realize they were twins.
No, as a hint, that seems a bit too much.
A hint based on the premise of touching Chikage’s earlobe can hardly be called a hint. She’s just too mischievous.
Anyway, that seems to be wrong.
Then, if there’s something he did with Hikari but not with Chikage──
“There’s something else you haven’t done to me, right?”
“Eh? What are you talking about…?”
“Ah, that expression means you know, right? Your habit when you lie is showing.”
“Ugh…!?”
“Then, I’ll say it… a kiss! I haven’t received one yet!”
Chikage quietly stood up and straddled the sitting Sakuto’s lower abdomen.
She herself is in a position with her legs spread. He wonders if she realizes that her underwear is fully visible under her miniskirt.
Then, she reached her hands past Sakuto’s face and held the window behind him.
In other words, Chikage’s chest is now right in front of Sakuto’s eyes.
This is a problem. He can’t stand up even if he wants to.
Sakuto, struggling to find a place to rest his eyes, looked at Chikage’s flushed face.
“Uh, Ch-Chikage-san!? What’s with this posture…!?”
“It’s, it’s an order from above!”
“Above? Who’s that!? What kind of order did they give!?”
“T-to push you down…!”
“Wait a minute! Bring out the person responsible for this!”
“Then——Chikage Usami, l-let’s go!”
